Hidden in Animal Kingdom is one of the best snacks in any Disney Park, and yes, it is corn on the cob. I know that corn on the cob doesn’t seem like a traditional theme park snack, but trust me when I say this corn will change your mind. You can find it over at Harambe Fruit Market, over by the entrance to the Kilimanjaro Safaris, and they fresh grill it throughout the day!
So, I will say this recipe includes a lot of spices and it might seem excessive, but trust me when I say that you need them. I found it easiest and cheapest to buy them at my local Indian Market. There are a few on the list that you might have some trouble finding in-store, so I will link the hard ones to get here, that way you can still make this even if you don’t have a store local to you.
